The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.

Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.

At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”

So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

Jesus asked His disciples to have a boat ready for Him so that the crowd would not crush Him.

James son of Zebedee and his brother John (whom He named Boanerges, meaning “Sons of Thunder”),

Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come.

Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet

When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”

His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”

And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.

Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.

Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.

For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.

On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.

When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.

And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

…and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.

For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

…he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

…because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”

And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.

He immediately got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.

Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.

Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”

But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

…because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,

Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.

Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.

They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.

And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.

As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.

Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.

“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
